South Korean actor Jang Keun-suk watched "The Royal Gambler" live with 1,100 fans, his management company said on Thursday.

On April 5, fans from Korea, Japan and China got together at the Walker Hill Hotel in eastern Seoul to support the star's new SBS TV Monday-Tuesday series and watched the 4th episode at the hotel, said Tree J Company.

According to his agency, Jang met and talked with his fans after the show ended.

Earlier that day, around 800 Japanese fans visited the southeast city of Mungyeong where Jang was shooting the series to show him their support.

Previously, his fan clubs around the world, 35 in total, put an ad for the then-upcoming TV series in various places including Gimpo Airport, Incheon International Airport, and subway stations in Seoul.

Jang plays the main character Baek Dae-gil in the period TV series set in the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). (Yonhap)
